The Oven

My daughter Isla is three years old and I tell her, "Don't touch the oven. Ever. Why? Because the oven is dangerous and you might burn the house down and we might all die. But mostly because I said so. Just do what I say and things will go well."

When she is older it will all change. I will tell her, "Sure you can touch the oven. In fact, use it all you like, and make beautiful food with it."

What will change, and what won't, and why?
